hey what's up guys!! countdowns getting a little crazy, see you all in 10 days, I promise I'm not counting down but it's just crazy crazy, I love the mission so much and I'm doing everything I can to make it count these last couple days!
this week was rad.
-exchanges with assistants (Elder rodriguez)
-two days of a mission tour with General authority 70 Elder Ochoa
-exchanges with ELDER WILSON since Saturday morning!! (long story)
The week was eaten up super quick by these experiences, but a cool tender mercy was yesterday night. I was completely planning on not going out to find people because we normally have lots of things to do Sunday night in the house, but out of the blue someone named Luis sent us a message asking if we could stop by to visit him. Hesitantly, we said of course and started the hour long walk to his house, knowing that we probably wouldnt be able to finish the things we wanted to do in the house. But when we got there, we realized just how badly he needed to hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We learned that Luis loves his family but struggles a lot to support them. in his house he sells alcohol, smokes, and has recently developed a coke addiction, but not the ice cold coke that tastes so deliciously amazing en a glass bottle.
We helped him lots and felt so strongly of the spirit helping him learn about the gift of repentance and the strength that comes by faith.
Elder ochoa explained that we are here to offer the GIFT of repentance to everyone. Whether they want to accept it, their life will be changed. If we accept this gift that the Savior offers us, our own lives will be molded and changed how he wants it.
Please repent today and have faith that he can heal and shape you. Doctrine and Covenants 19:15-18 explain beautifully the invitation and fills my heart with hope and appreciation for our Savior. He loves us so much. Love you all too and see you guys all soon :)
